Great thrones there Dano!

I have Recaro Trendlines in my Cup. As much as i like them - they're no more supportive than the standard Cup chairs IMO.

You did aye, Tesco were selling it for £1.73 for long enough - cheapest now is Morrisons @ £4.

I didn't realise you needed asbestos fingers to see if an engine is too hot. I must have missed that class.

Exactly - more have slipped through the net as it were than 'we' have our ties on, - i would say.

There are probably more than you could count Steve - more were sold to 'non enthusiasts' than were sold to enthusiasts. They creep out the wood work occasionally, putting a number against it is wild.

Yeah, how about that...

I'll need to pick some up this week, JD. Cleaned her car and it took a full bottle to clean her wheels (3,800 miles on the clock ffs)

These days, there is no need to spend 3k on a 1*2 for something thats 'middle of the road'. They're so cheap you can have the best of best for £3500. f**king madness.

Its a while away from your level of clean Dawn let me assure you! It could do with a going over with a rotary or so! Few swirls here and there!

Is the engine overly hot to the touch though? Does the temp needle shoot up and stay up?

Cheers Steve!

Is it definitely over heating? I.e you're not just relying on the guage, is it genuinely hot?

The front number plate is weird looking?

Pictures are pretty poor richy!

^Fairly rare colour that one as well isn't it? What colours did they come in?

You've officially lost the plot Marc lol.

For f**k sake! Isn't there something you can spray on and wash it off lol??

What do you actually clean them with at all? I'm not really a cleaning 'enthusiast' even though I like my car to be clean if that makes sense?

Why risk it? For your budget a 172 with the belts done and some nice extras would be my bet. At 2.5k a 182's going to be poor IMO.

LOL. Okay :(

Small update, I got the car through the MOT thankfully! (£350 later) But it is sorted! What a difference having a ramp makes to doing work on these! Got use of a buzz gun so it literally took an hour to do all four corners! Front anchors on; Rear's; I also washed it for the first time...

Derv, 172's weren't intended as vans - otherwise they'd actually have sold them as vans! :star:

Prices are all over the place as you'd expect Neil, although I did remember speccing one to 38k lol.

It has 5bhp more than the 8p S3.

Why a 172 and not a diesel?

Just seen the exhaust aswell, holy f**k thats bad.

+1 Outrageous.

That tow strap looks like a Spaniels lug.

Condition > Owners.
